Female circumcision or female genital mutilation (FGM) as is often called is practiced globally in all continents with over 100 women and girls at risk with the majority in Africa. FGM continues to be practiced in many countries and regions associated with religious, cleanliness, acceptance into adulthood, uphold virginity, controls sexuality, increases fertility, preserving culture and other socio- economic factors. Despite its severe consequences (mental, physical, health and right violation issues) and severe pain, hemorrhage. Shock, death.

The recent financial crisis has shown that financial innovation can have devastating systemic impacts on financial stability, an example of the sub-prime crisis in the United States. International financial standards and national regulators’ response have been a global concerted effort to overhaul and tighten financial regulations. However, at a time of designing stricter regulations, it is crucial to avoid a backlash against expanding the financial access frontier with a compromise on the effectiveness of lending standards.

The present study was aimed at studying in vitro anti-cervical cancer effect of proteoglycans (PGs) isolated from deep sea shark. Anti-proliferative activity and apoptotic involvement were confirmed by following assays viz, the cell viability assay by MTT assay, morphological analysis and colony formation assay. The sample showed a significant cytotoxic activity for HeLa cells and results showed that the PGs at a concentration of 250µg/mL inhibit the colony formation capacity. Apoptosis induction was confirmed by the chromatin condensation assay by Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining.

Obesity is considered a multifactorial pathology that causes several metabolic changes. The objective is to evaluate the effects of the consumption of AIN-93 and high-fat (HF) diets on Wistar rats. We performed clinical, biochemical, histopathological, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) -based metabolomic analyses. Among the diets studied, the visceral fat and adiposity index of animals fed with the HF diet were higher than those of animals fed with the AIN diet, but there were no differences in body weight between groups.

Tung Kula Rong Hai is mostly sandy soil, lack of plant nutrients, flooding in some areas, water shortage of the growing season, flooding end of season and rainless in dry season, soil is spreading salinity, farmers lack motivation to improve the soil and the use of technology to increase crop yields. As a result, some areas of Tung Kula Rong Hai used to grow rice have reduced yield problems and low quality rice makes the aroma decrease. This problem is due to the fact that available of soil nutrients have decreased, especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Wood nanofibers from munwiserie waste have been used as a partial replacement of cement for cement paste at a content of up to 0.5% by weight of cement. The effect of the nanofibrillated cellulose content on the porosity, the compressive strength and the degree of hydration of the cement was investigated. Results have shown an improvement in the compressive strength by more than 40% with 4% of added fiber cellulose. The chemical modification of nanofibers wood by grafting of chains alkyls in their surfaces can reduce the quantity of water absorbed by the sample.

Introduction: The Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in individuals infected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) may provide changes in lipid metabolism, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and nutritional status by laboratory tests, anthropometry and food consumption, proposing nutritional intervention with a Bioactive Food Compound (BFC).

This research paper basically deals with improvement in the mode of transportation. Due to the extinction of non-renewable energy, we are focusing on making current transportation fuel free. The energy generation as well as utilization, both should be from renewable. Our objective in presenting this research paper is to improve and upgrade e-Rickshaw, which are currently in use, with solar PVs in semi-urban areas of India.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is certainly one of the most complex joints of the human body and, as part of the stomatognathic system, is directly related to general physiological functions. It is a structure that undergoes continuous structural changes, being able to be by modeling or bone remodeling and are responsible for the adaptation of the articular tissue in front of the continuous forces that act on this one.

Objective: To analyse the distribution of Family Health Support Centres (NASF) modalities in Paraíba – Brazil, its professional profile and the evaluation of NASF by family health teams. Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach. Data was collect from the databases of: Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics, Department of Information Technology of Brazilian Unified Health System, National Registry for Health Establishments and Secretary of Health of the State of Paraíba.
